| Nov 18, 2012 at 14:07 | comment | added | Rob Moir | Oh I get that, I totally agree with doing it. I'm just saying, lets not over-estimate how much effect it will have on the 'post and run' brigade. | |
| Nov 18, 2012 at 13:58 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @RobM The theory here is that people will read the bold text, even with just a glance, so getting that 'professional' word in there may cause enough doubt in the edge cases to cut down our OT-rate. It may not be a lot, but it'll help. | |
| Nov 18, 2012 at 12:42 | comment | added | Rob Moir | I kinda think that the sort of people who will read that are the sort of people who don't need to read it, if you see what I mean. We certainly should try our best to help them, though. | |
